Seems kind of difficult to portray a fast-talking confidence-man in a silent film with no title cards. Nevertheless, Charlie makes a convincing effort. Some amusing pratfalls and gags make this worth the time to watch.

This is typical very funny Chaplin, I actually like the slime-ball character he plays, it's a refreshing change! Hope it gets restored as it's definitely worth it!

Subject: Seriously, people.
If you can't read, this was made in 1914. This is Chaplin's FIRST FILM APPEARANCE, not his first film. Hardly. "Making a Living" was written and directed by Henry Lehrman; Chaplin merely had a starring role. He just started working with Mack Sennett at the time and this film is his debut; in fact, the film was something of a flop and Sennett began having doubts about hiring Chaplin.
The Little Tramp would not be created until "Kid Auto Races at Venice," and Chaplin would not have creative authority over his own films until even later.
To compare this to "The Kid" or freaking "City Lights" is like comparing Hitchcock's "Vertigo" to some lame home movie on YouTube.

...to our beloved Charlie's film, but I'm just being objective. This very short film, like many of his earliest works, is comedy at its most primitive. There's no dialog, no decent gags, only kicking, punching, falling, running. The comedy film was still to develop into something more substantial. But this one is at least a bit more tolerable than, say, "His favorite pasttime". What I like about it is Charlie's unusual look with a big moustache & a tophat. I hardly recognized him! I also like that while he & others run around, we can see places & people of 1910s. Yes, it was nearly 100 years ago. Even before the Roaring twenties. Women still wore long hair, long dresses. It's interesting from the historical point of view.
